It said police forces arrested the mayors of the towns of Cukurca, Yuksekova and Semdinli at the behest of the public prosecutor in Hakkari.
One of the mayors is Servet Tunc, member of the democratic areas party which is considered an ally to the Kurdish-dominated Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP), it said.
